Sheriff's News

Four of our Reserve Deputies took the time to pose for a photo with the Easter Bunny at Grandview Park Saturday morning, March 28th. These gentlemen volunteered their time for the annual easter egg hunt. Our Reserves volunteer a lot of time for us and we are forever greatful for this group of men and women that give back to their community and make our job at the Sheriff's Office much easier. Thank you.

ST. PADDY'S DAY sTEP ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY REPORT

These projects are usually designed around holiday's that tend to lend themselves to the increased consumption of alcohol. As we all know, with St. Paddy's Day, comes the increased flow of green beer at the local pub's. The Woodbury County Sheriff's Office increased it's patrols from March 13th through the 17th to help stem the possible increase in intoxicated drivers. We do this for everyones safety. Below is the report submitted back to the State of Iowa with the numbers from our project.
